STOCKS GAIN FIRM TONE Important Issues Make Good Upturns After Weak Start. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The stock market continued as a whole of a professional character at the opening today with irregular movements. The statement of Governor Miller of New York in regard to the transportation situation was used as a reason for buying local transportation issues, but the strength was not maintained. The 611 stocks were again under pressure, but showed a quick rallying power. Mexican Petroleum, dropping to 151%, rose above 153. A number of traders were sellers of this stock because of statements made in Washington dispatches in regard to the necessity for action by this Government to protect American interests. Reduction in the price of crude oil also was an influencing factor. Steel common fell % to 81%, but quickly recovered this loss. Baldwin rose 2 points to 90%. Crucible advanced 2% points to 97. American International rose 1 point to 46. After the Irregular movements in the first fifteen minutes, the market developed strong tone and nearly all the important issues made substantial gains. The steel Issues were in special demand, Baldwin advancing 2 points to 90% and Bethlehem Steel “B” rose 1% points to 56%. United States Steel was in steady demand. registering from 8114 to 8214. Crucible Steel rose to above 97. Canadian Pacific was in supply, falling % of a point to 1141£. Roval Dutch was 2 points lower at 63%. Stndebaker held around 57%. General Asphalt rose over 2 points to 6414. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Jan. 25 — Last week's sellers of securities were forced to bid np for the limited offerings today This feature was pronounced in Stndebaker. Republic Steel. Cotton Oil, etc. Sentiment was helped by a sharp recovery in commodities. Announcement that the British had made a cut in petroleum prices because of over-supply had but passing effect. Attention is being directed to the improvement in foreign exchange. Domestic news regarding trade revival is of a nature to inspire confidence. As evidence, advices from Cleveland tell of a general reopening of manufacturing plants in that district. Reports indicate less strain in the credit situation, but while renewal rates were unchanged here, the fact that up to this writing there has been no increase beyond the 7 per cent rate, in spite of the limited supply on Saturday's poor bank statement, encourages belief the little tension we have Is the result of government withdrawals rather than Increased borrowings.

DECLINES HIT GRAIN FUTURES Slow Market and Light Sales Chief Factors. CHICAGO, Jan. 25—Grain futures declined on a slow market and light sales on the Chcago Board of Trade here today. There was little inclination to buy or sell. Unsettled weather prevailed throughout the grain belt. Corn and oats also declined In sympathy with wheat. Provisions were lower. March wheat opened off %c at $1.70%, and dropped 2%c later. May wheat opened at $1 60%, off %c, losing 2%c before the close. May corn at 69%c opened off %c, and dropped an additional lc hefore the close July corn opened at 70%c, off %c, and dropped l%c later. May oats opened up %c at 44%r, and dropped %e In later trading. July oats opened at 44%c, off %c, losing %c before the close. (By Thompson & McKinnon) -—Jan. 25—Wheat—A sharp falling off In consignments of wheat from the Southwest, together with an Improved milling demand In that section and a better flour trade In the Northwest have taken the place of a slowing down In export business. British prices were reduced by the royal commission and Argentine prices ivere lower. It Is claimed that Argentine wheat is offered abroad at some 8 cents cheaper than United States wheat. Minneapolis millers, after a survey of the situation, believe that stocks of flour In principal markets are quite small. This being so. it Is reasonable to expect an Improvement In tbe flour trade and a better demand for wheat from millers. For a time Argentine wheat may turn the export business away from this country, but we doubt If there Is any weakness In the world situation to far as surplus supplies are concerned,- this 'idea being based upon the removal of Russia from exporting countries. There will, at all times, be a moderate foreign demand for United States wheat, which In conjunction with a lessened movement In milling demand should keep market In a healthy condition. Tbe strength In corn was gained largely from the action of wheat, uitbough market had the help of export inquiries and some business There is little. If any Improvement In the demand from dlstributors, a large portion of the daily receipt* being taken by elevators who are selling the May against their pnrchfite*. The various grades of the cash corn are selling at an average price of 9 cent* under the May xvhlch ought to be and i, quite attractive to carriers. The heavy movement !* probably over but there will be sufficient coming from the country to more than supply the present slow demand and result In further piling up of accumulations iu terminal markets Taking Into consideration the dls count of the cash corn and the known surplus in the country. It would stem that the market will yet show permanent buoyancy. Oat* There Is a little more friendliness displayed to oats, although It Is exhibited more In the way of buying against previous sales than In the way of new demand The market Is still and will remalu a reflection of corn. Provisions -A rather glow hog market offset the strength ill grains and a slightly better demand for product*. The volume of uog receipts will probably be the immediate influence in prices.

Middaugh was arrested on an affidavit on charges resulting from tbe raid In xvhlch he Is alleged to have resisted the officers and interferred with a search of his home. Attorney Fred McAllister maintained that a search warrant was nto read to Middaugh, although the evidence showed that the officers possessed such a warrant. Counsel presented a motion claiming that Middaugh is under arrest on charges growing out of the same raid in the city court and pleaded former jeopardy for Middaugh. As City Judge Walter Pritchard will rule Wednesday afternoon on a case in which Middaugh Is charged with violating the prohibition laws, Justice Maholm took the case under advisement to determine If there was former jeopardy. ‘‘lt Is time that the courts uphold the officers in the enforcement of law and order,’’ declared Justice Maholm. “The police must be protected.” The evidence showed that Middaugh attempted to Interfere with Lieut. William Cox during the search of Middaugh’s home and that Officer HUP: went to the aid of the lieutenant. Tbe evidence showed that Middaugh threatened to “get" Officer Htilman if the officers struck Middaugh.

SCHOOL BANKS AID TO THRIFT Proposed Legislation in West Interests Nation. BY. 8. W. STRAUS, President American Society for Thrift. The Legislatures of a number of Western States are now considering a form af legislation of so much Importance that it is worthy of national attention. Bills hare been Introduced providing for the establishment of school savings banks under the supervision of the school authorities. The capital stock of these banks is to be divided into shares not to exceed $1 each and no person shall own more than 100 shares. It Is the understanding. of course, that he stock will be purchased by pupils and teachers. These banks do not pay interest on deposits, but the capital stock may be InTested In any safe interest-bearing securities such are War Savings Stamps or other similar securities, which may be reconverted Into cash on short notice. Deposits from a single depositor shall noY exceed SIOO at one time. Regular check books will be Issued to the depositors. When an Individual deposit reaches a sum sufficient to start an Interest-bear-ing savings account In any bank that rei-elves such savings deposits the amount shall be transferred to such banks. The proposed legislation also Includes provision for compulsory Instruction In thrift. While the school savings bank has been In successful operation for a great many years, it seems that the legislation now proposed In the West, particularly in the States Included in the Tenth Federal Re serve district, marks a long forward step In this phase of practical thrift education. • It would be well if all our States gave more attention to the encouragement of the school savings bank. It is the best general plan so far discovered for encouraging the practices of thrift upon the part of the rising generation of this country and Imparting to the youthful mind the cumulative value of saving money. Rut such work In the schools will be Incomplete if not accompanied by Intelligent Instruction In the broad principles of thrift. The youthful students should be trained not alone to make the saving of money a fixed habit of life, but they should be given substantial groundwork In tbe application of tbe thrift principle to all their activities Saving money is just one of the manifestations of a principle which, if generally applied to the entire scope of one's endeavors, cannot fall to bring success.
